Thursday, May 1, 1924. Salt.


Iodized salt was introduced in the US, which addressed a pile of thyroid related problems.

Having had half of my thyroid cut out this year, I appreciate that.

It was Canadian pediatrician David Murray Crowe who became aware that the addition of sodium iodide or potassium iodide to salt could safely remedy the problem of iodine deficiency that was a leading cause of thyroid problems.

Benz und Companie and Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft combined operations, but had not yet quite merged.

May Day demonstrations occured across the US.
